This fixes a bunch of mislabelled and unlabelled #endifs in unistd.h and also
cleans that up to conform with what's visible on other architectures, since
the minimal fix for the error reported about would have involved a more
intrusive patch, renesting other ifdefs.

The .fill causes miscompilations with some binutils version.

Instead just patch the lock prefix in the lock constructs. That is the
majority of the cost and should be good enough.

<title>[PATCH] x86: Make backtracer fallback logic more bullet-proof</title>

The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to
the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once
serving as a separator) of this.

Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as
restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack
tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but
this could certainly be further improved.

Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

By hard-coding the cpuid keys for alternative_smp() rather than using
the symbolic constant it turned out that incorrect values were used on
both i386 (0x68 instead of 0x69) and x86-64 (0x66 instead of 0x68).

Kprobe inserts breakpoint instruction in probepoint and then jumps to
instruction slot when breakpoint is hit, the instruction slot icache must
be consistent with dcache.  Here is the patch which invalidates instruction
slot icache area.

Without this patch, in some machines there will be fault when executing
instruction slot where icache content is inconsistent with dcache.

It was broken before. But having it is important as possible hardware
bug workaround.

And previously there was no way to force swiotlb if there is another IOMMU.
Side effect is that iommu=force won't force swiotlb anymore even if there
isn't another IOMMU.

<title>[PATCH] x86_64: Calgary IOMMU - Multi-Node NULL pointer dereference fix</title>

<content type='text'>
Calgary hits a NULL pointer dereference when booting in a multi-chassis
NUMA system.  See Redhat bugzilla number 198498, found by Konrad
Rzeszutek (konradr@redhat.com).

There are many issues that had to be resolved to fix this problem.
Firstly when I originally wrote the code to handle NUMA systems, I
had a large misunderstanding that was not corrected until now.  That was
that I thought the "number of nodes online" referred to number of
physical systems connected.  So that if NUMA was disabled, there
would only be 1 node and it would only show that node's PCI bus.
In reality if NUMA is disabled, the system displays all of the
connected chassis as one node but is only ignorant of the delays
in accessing main memory.  Therefore, references to num_online_nodes()
and MAX_NUMNODES are incorrect and need to be set to the maximum
number of nodes that can be accessed (which are 8).  I created a
variable, MAX_NUM_CHASSIS, and set it to 8 to fix this.

Secondly, when walking the PCI in detect_calgary, the code only
checked the first "slot" when looking to see if a device is present.
This will work for most cases, but unfortunately it isn't always the
case.  In the NUMA MXE drawers, there are USB devices present on the
3rd slot (with slot 1 being empty).  So, to work around this, all
slots (up to 8) are scanned to see if there are any devices present.

Lastly, the bus is being enumerated on large systems in a different
way the we originally thought.  This throws the ugly logic we had
out the window.  To more elegantly handle this, I reorganized the
kva array to be sparse (which removed the need to have any bus number
to kva slot logic in tce.c) and created a secondary space array to
contain the bus number to phb mapping.

With these changes Calgary boots on an x460 with 4 nodes with and
without NUMA enabled.
